1 red bell pepper, chopped fine
1 bunch green onions, chopped
3 carrots, grated
2 large jalopeno peppers, chopped very fine
all the cloves from a head of garlic, chopped very fine
Now here is how the sauce was made: I sliced a half pound of mushrooms and sauteed them in 2 tbl of balsamic vinegar. As they were cooking I blended together in the cuisinart a half package of that Mori-Nu tofu, a can (drained) of artichoke hearts and a bunch of basil and oregano from the garden. Then I added this mixture to the mushrooms and let it cook for a while longer. I mixed it in with the other ingredients and then added salt and pepper to taste.

Ingredients:
1/2 pound green beans
1/4 pound red pearl onions (about 3/4 inches wide)
1-1/4 pounds thin-skinned potatoes (about 2 inches wide; see Notes)
2 yams (about 1 pound total)
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 cups (3/4 pound) yellow cherry tomatoes
Salt and pepper
1/4 pound arugula, tough stems removed, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
1. Remove stem ends and any strings from beans. In a 6- to 8-quart pan over high heat, bring 2 quarts water to a boil. Add beans and cook until tender-crisp to bite, about 4 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer beans to a bowl of ice water to cover. When cool, lift beans out and put in a wide, shallow bowl.
2. Add onions to boiling water and cook just until tender when pierced, about 4 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer to ice water.
3. Meanwhile, scrub potatoes and yams. Put in boiling water, adding more water if needed to cover. Cook until vegetables are tender when pierced, about 25 minutes. Drain.
4. While potatoes and yams cook, drain onions and peel.
5. In a bowl, whisk together garlic, mustard, vinegar and oil.
6. Peel yams; cut potatoes and yams into 1/2-inch slices.
7. Place potato and yam slices on a barbecue grill over very hot coals or very high heat on a gas grill (you can hold your hand at grill level only 1 to 2 seconds); close lid on gas grill. Cook, turning once, until grill marks develop on both sides, 2 to 4 minutes total.
8. Add potatoes, yams, onions, tomatoes and garlic dressing to beans. Mix gently; season to taste with salt and pepper.
